📍 Taipei · Nangang District · Jingmao 2nd Road🎨 Cultural Venue🔖 Large-scale exhibitions

Nangang Exhibition Center is Taiwan's largest convention and exhibition facility by total floor area, comprising Hall 1 and Hall 2 with a combined exhibition space of over 100,000 square meters. The Taipei International Computer Show (Computex) and the Taipei International Book Exhibition held here each year draw global exhibitors and visitors, making it a key window into Taiwan's industry trends.

Highlights of Nangang Exhibition Center

Nangang Exhibition Center is located adjacent to Nangang Station, which is served by Taiwan Railways, the High Speed Rail, the MRT Bannan Line, and the Airport MRT, giving it the best transport integration of any convention facility in Taiwan. Hall 1 and Hall 2 are connected by a sky bridge, and during exhibitions the venue operates shuttle routes linking the station and the hall entrances. The center primarily hosts large international trade shows, with occasional consumer-facing exhibitions such as auto shows and education expos open to the general public.

Outside exhibition periods, Nangang Exhibition Center offers no particular attraction for general tourists. However, if your trip coincides with a major exhibition, you can check the official website for event details and ticketing in advance. Computex is usually held in May or June each year, and the Taipei International Book Exhibition typically runs in January or February. Some exhibitions separate professional and general visitor timeslots; it is worth confirming your eligibility in advance.
